Another day, another midair celebrity Twitter rant.

This time it's actress Andie MacDowell, who tweeted that she was placed in "tourist" class on an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles Friday afternoon -- despite having paid for a first-class seat.

A "furious" MacDowell said an airline employee told her the downgrade was due to the fact that she was traveling with her dog, and although she had fun with the "great people back i[n] tourist," the actress demanded a reimbursement for the flight.

@AmericanAir HELP I paid for first class & they put me in tourist because of my dog that I pre-booked & paid for pic.twitter.com/KmKX4ZTQqj— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016

The flight was bound for Salt Lake City -- less than an hour and a half from Los Angeles -- with MacDowell presumably en route to Park City for the Sundance Film Festival.

MacDowell tweeted back at critics who deemed her complaints to be first-world #CelebrityProblems by asserting the first-class seat was for the comfort of her rescue dog, not herself, and that if reimbursed for the flight, she would donate the money to charity.

American Airlines responded to the actress on Twitter asking for more information about the situation, so it remains to be seen whether the airline believes the L'Oreal spokeswoman's complaints are "worth it."

In the meantime, the actress seems to have made peace with the situation in a true Andie MacDowell fashion.

I'm done with this for this tonight because I'm gonna drink wine with my friends got a big fundraiser tomorrow...a good life— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
